Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKarmaloka (कर्मलोक) is the name of a region situated beneath the Nādarūpa region, as defined in the Śivapurāṇa 1.17. Accordingly, “[...] the Bindurūpa is beneath that point and Nādarūpa is beyond. The Karmaloka is beneath that point and Jñānaloka is beyond that. [...] And those who worship spiritual things go beyond that point. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
